The dumbest thing I have ever done? My wife, my daughter and I got ice cream cones in Tomorrowland. I had just explained to my daughter how she had to be careful with it and not drop it. Not even a minutes later I was talking to my wife and not paying attention to where I was going. My daughter had stopped in front of me. I proceeded to bump her, ice cream cone went into my face then promptly fell to the ground. Daughter turned around and said "You should be careful daddy."
Wife was crying from laughing so hard.

Once drank before riding ToT. Oh boy what a bad idea.
Oh and now that you mention it, one of the many times it was a complete downpour in DHS my friend and i were running to meet with our family and bam went right down. Got back up and pretended nothing happened hahaha.

Lost fastpasses
Wife and I were at DHS two weeks ago. Well we got there late morning and RRC and ToT were already super busy. We ran over and got fastpasses to RRC and she was going to put them in her purse. I insisted she let me take them and put them in my pocket where they would be safe. So she let me have them. On the way over I stuck them in my front pocket. Well, we got into line at Tot and I went to pull them out of my pocket to check the times and guess what? No fastpasses. apparently I had missed my pocket when I tried to put them in and just thrown them on the ground. I'm sure some kid saw them laying there and thought it was his lucky day. Needless to say, I didn't get to carry fastpasses or tickets the rest of the trip. Probably for the best.

Walking through Mickey's house at MK. I looked down in one of the rooms and there's Pluto's dog bed with a bone on it. As you all know, the entire room/house is plastic or fiberglass construction, but the bone looked to be a real rawhide like any of us would get at the pet store. I couldn't resist. I leaned over the rail and picked up the bone. I was shocked that it wasn't somehow attached to Pluto's bed. Of course the motion sensors picked up my actions and alarms started going off. I quickly put the bone back where it was and moved quickly to the next room. My wife and kids were stunned. I was scared.
But to answer the question....... yep, just a regular rawhide bone from the pet store. No need for Disney Magic on that one.
And no, I never got in trouble for it. But when we got to see Mickey in the Judge's Tent, my kids were quick to tell him "Our Dad tried to steal Pluto's bone!"
I'll never forget it - and my kids won't either.

If you know me this would sound completely out of character, but I had way to much to Tequila that my friend picked up from the mexico pavilion at Epcot. Needless to say I am embarrassed of my behavior.
My wife and a couple of our friends were riding CoP just before the MK closing. The ride was half full and it was a busy night at MK. During the second scene someone got up and left. This of course resets the ride and caused us to watch the scene all over again. Well I decided that it would be funny if at the end of the scene right as the music starts, to simply open the door and look outside. I knew that would reset the ride and was simply hilarious.
I did it and needless to say the entire room was looking at me angrily as the cast member came over the intercom and told everyone to remain seated as the ride scene strarted over. Well, this had no affect on my drunken concious and I thought it would be funny to do it again. The audience thought it was even less funny the 3rd time watching the sceen and were legitimatley ed.
There was some yelling by people I did not know, challenging to fight if I did it again. There was yelling by my wife who was rightfully embarressed of her husbands thoughtless actions. And last but not least, an unhappy CM at the end of the ride questioning why I would do such a thing. Honestly, I am lucky to not have my AP revoked after all the complaining the guests directed at the CM.

This is one of my favourite places to watch WISHES. You get surrounded by fireworks.
Dumb: I left a book and two pairs of undies in my hotel room. I received a letter from WDW Lost and Found offering to mail them to me. I asked them to send the book (which I wanted to keep), but ditch the drawers. I didn't want my smalls travelling to Canada parcel post. And imagine if customs had opened the package for an inspection! It was embarrassing enough just imaging mousekeeping finding them. Anyway, they sent the book.

There are a few members who can attest to this story...
This past February (28th to be exact), I was in Epcot for the best darned birthday ever. Drank around the world. Had dinner at Les Chefs de France with a large group of amazing people and Ron Schneider (the ORIGINAL Dreamfinder). Went into a deserted FW to find Figment's hand prints and signature hidden in the concrete around JIYyI.
Here's where I didn't the dumbest thing. Ever.
There was a small group of CM's in between The Land and the Imagination Pavillion wrangling a gigantic snake. One of the CM's said that it wasn't poisionous and they were waiting for animal control to come get it.
After the best day of my life and lots of 'liquid courage', I decided to try to pick up the snake, a la Crocodile Hunter. :hammer:
My rationale?
1) I'd seen it done on tv enough to know how to do it correctly.
2) If it bit me and wasn't poisionous, I'd have a killer scar/souvenier and a great story to tell.
3) If it was poisionous, I'd get to go to WDW's infirmary and have magic performed on the wound. (No, really... :lol: )
My 19 year old sister had to repremand me at age 26 like a small child to get me away from the snake. She loves to tell everyone about my liquid courage enduced lack of judgement.
:lol:

A few years ago, I brought my cell phone to MK, which I kinda thought was a bad idea in the first place because it's not like I want to be on the phone while at WDW.
I then went on Splash Mountain and put the phone in my back pocket. I thought that if I sat on the phone, it would be protected.
NOPE! I was that person on the log- the one that gets so wet that everyone's pointing and laughing. The water covered me, went down my back, and even drenched my backside including my phone.
Needless to say, it was completely fried.
It did solve the problem of whether or not I'd bring it to the parks for the rest of the trip. Now, I when touring the parks, I just leave my phone in the hotel room and hope DH doesn't wander off too far.

How about stupid thing BEFORE getting to WDW.
My first trip as an adult was with my (now ex) wife and our first child.
We fly down and get into WDW, looking foward to a fun filled week.
When cheking in, I find out that not only did I not take any credit cards with me, but neither did my wife. We had about $80 cash between the two of us, and only our debit cards, which were only linked to our checking account, which had a balance of about $200 in it.
A bit of frantic calling and a VERY helpful CM had my father-in-law driving over to our house (thankfully we had left him a key for emergencies) and getting my credit card, then making a copy of it and faxing it to the CM, who then put it on our KTTW cards.
Whew, that would have been a budget trip, trying to spend a week in WDW, with two adults and a child, on a total budget of about $280. I had visions of having to go begging for food.

That made my day. I can only imagine the other people's reactions.
My dumb thing was as a teen, picking a meal at the former All Star restaurant at Wide World of Sports over a lunch at the Crystal Palace. Now, some 10 years later i get to go there, but this time on my own dime.

My DH ate a Bacon Double Cheeseburger right before going on M:S....not good....AT ALL...
He's a horrible impulse eater (I blame his HS football days, but that's neither here nor there) He once drank four 16 oz. glasses of sweet tea right before bed - and then his stomach was distended, he couldn't bend over to put a movie in our dvd player (baaa-abe, can you come put the movie in? i can't bend over!) could hardly get in the bed, and didn't fall asleep for another hour...hahaha...heaven help me...

Ah she's lucky, they've been divorced for some years now, it was just me dad and older bro. My brother didn't seem to care too much, I think he had gotten sick from eating fish at the CHH

We were in MK and I had to run back to the resort for something I had left in our room. Left my husband with the family and would call them when I got back to the park to find out where they were. Little to me, did not realize I left my cell phone with my mom when we went on SM. Got all the way back to MK and had no way to find the family. After 2 1/2 hours of searching, finally found them. Next time, make sure I have everything before I leave resort and have my cell phone.
